8RDA+ Problems Problems

[Pogue]

OK, I have 2 problems

First problem is my Force feedback wheel won't work properly. It work for a few secs in say Grand Prix legends for example then just stops, if I turn the wheel off then on again it'll work for another fews secs then stop again. I've tried all the USB ports, I've tried using a USB hub, I've set the Bios to USB 1.1, 2.0 and both,nothing makes any difference. The wheel worked fine before I swapped boards and works fine in 3 of my other PC's.

Second problem is my Corsair PC3500 ram, I have 2 sticks of 256 and they work fine in single channel mode I'm running them at 200fsb with no probs. If I switch them to dual channel mode (moving the stick over to the furthest slot from trhe Cpu) it locks in 3Dmark and games, I cant actually run it at any speed in dual mode, not even 133 fsb.

Help me please or I'll have to go back to Intel :devil:

You cant run dual channel at all even sta stock speed and memory timings set to SPD ?

What PSU are you uisng ?

Does DIMM-3 work ok with a single stick ?

Have you updated your bios.

1, No I can't, I can boot to windows fine but 3dmark 2k1 doesn't want to know nor does any other game.

2, Sparkle 400w tweaked, all my voltages are slightly higher than normal, vdd is only 1.56 though.

3, will check in a mo

4, Have tried the last 3 Bios updates

Update ...

Ok, with the cpu underclocked to XP 1800+ and fsb at 133 it managed to run 3dmark2k1.

Either stick runs perfectly in the 3rd slot @ 200fsb+
